"SEND HER BACK!" Will they defend this?

I wonder if he'll claim that he thought the crowd was chanting something else.

"'Send her back!'? I thought they were saying 'Men in Black!' which was a movie I really liked by the way.

Surely you have heard about it. I find it so disturbing I don't even want to link to youtube videos of it. Trump decided to go after Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and his crowd, ever lowering themselves to new levels of deplorable, started chanting "Send her back! SEND HER BACK!..."


And here we now are. They want to deport legal immigrants. Because it was never about immigrants being legal or illegal. It was about them being immigrants that are not white.


How is the Republican party going to spin this? Or do they even try? Maybe they just double down on this, clearly that is where the party is headed, and just burn some crosses at the next rally.

Just to be clear, would you consider it OK if people called for the deportation of a white legal immigrant? Or would that be just as bad?
 
Interesting prediction, here. I think it's likely true. We'll see.
This is what will happen: Trump's cultists will begin chanting "Send her back! Send her back!" at his next rally. He'll lean back and crack that goofy "I'm being naughty now!" grin and say "No, no - no, no - they say you're not supposed to say that anymore. It's not PC." [Cheers]

Not true. If a person lied on their application, then their citizenship can be voided. It happened to a few nazis if I recall correctly.

To be sure, that isn't the deportation of a U.S. citizen. It was the revocation of citizenship followed by deportation of a former citizen.

Just as bad under the same circumstances.

What Trump is calling for is just as wrong as it would be if the target of his xenophobia was Chris van Holland (Pakistan), Michael Bennet (India) David Rouzer (Germany) or Dan Crenshaw (Scotland).

Trump doesn't object to her because she was born in another country, he objects because of her brown skin and her religion - that makes him a bigot, a racist and a xenophobe.

But "just to be clear", do you support the call to send her back?

Do you support sending brown US citizens not born in the US back to the country where they were born?

That POTUS (Piece Of Totally Useless ****) was asked directly what he would say to his audience regarding the chant today. Did he say he'd stop them? NO. Did he condemn it? NO. What did he do? He launches into his attack on the 4 congresswomen again.

For those handful still trying to defend this cretin, JUST. STOP. IT. There IS no defense.
 
Some small bit of respite from all the negativity around this,

Ilhan Omar arrived to chants of "welcome home" in Minnesota:


Her statements:

We're in agreement.

I think you're reading too much into his motives. Trump is nasty to all his critics, regardless of race. He's a pretty equal-opportunity hater.

But "just to be clear", do you support the call to send her back?

Nope. I think that's bad. Just like it was bad when Sen. Nadler essentially threatened to get Sebastian Gorka deported.

Do you support sending brown US citizens not born in the US back to the country where they were born?

Absent some actual deportable offense such as immigration fraud (as in the case of Rasmea Odeh, I was all in favor of deporting that terrorist), I'm against deporting any US citizen, regardless of skin color.

Happy to hear that
 
"He said racist things because he's hateful, not because he's racist," is a really interesting defense.

It's also a ******* lie. He's a hateful, stupid racist. Some people just love racists enough to hate when they're called exactly what they are...and some of those people love trolling this forum.
 
I suspect it's easier to chant, "Send them home" with your buddies than it is to question your social influences, stop drinking and leave the NRA.

:rolleyes:

You know damn well this is racism yet you post this imaginary hypothesis.

Imaginary hypotheses don't change reality.

Anyone comfortable with calling Trump hateful but who balks at calling him racist is clinging to that bizarre distinction for reasons more rooted in self-delusion and denial than reality.

It is in reality. Racism is tied to a belief. Every comment needs to be evaluated if that belief can be discerned. Without a test using a similar, white immigrant, it is hard to discern.
 
If we are to believe Trump's own words and those of his biographers (I know, how could that be evidence), the President believes that he is genetically better than anyone he has ever met.
That is racist, even if the race is "everyone not a Trump".
